The Doll Slaughterhouse

That voice directly announced the start of the attack.

The clothing mannequins all around them seemed to have been infused with souls by that voice, waking from their slumber as they slowly began to move.

The mannequins had yet to attack, but the slow twisting of their limbs was still eerie and horrifying, creating an atmosphere thick with dread.

"Get ready to fight!"

Wang Qing growled.

Even without him saying so, anyone could tell this place would have to be fought through to get past it.

"When I fell earlier, I surveyed the area from above. There's a gate in each direction: north, south, east, and west!"

Krazer explained rapidly. "If we all move together and find a gate we can't open, we'll waste too much time. So I suggest we split into groups!"

Sannomiya Airi glanced at Krazer.

This guy was pretty calculating, too.

With Krazer's abilities, he'd be very safe even on his own. But he'd have to fight his way through those monstrous mannequins and reach a gate, only to risk finding that it was the wrong one.

Then he'd have to look for another gate, which would be a huge waste of time.

But if he went with Lin Baici, that large a group would move too slowly.

Lin Baici frowned and surveyed the area. The hunger was gone, but Mrs. Oliver didn't seem to be here, either.

This was troublesome!

"Fish Ball Guy and Wang Qing, one team; Xia Hongyao and Wu Hongfu, one team; Sannomiya Airi and Wang Qing, one team. You and I will each lead another team!"

Krazer immediately assigned everyone to groups.

At first glance, the arrangement seemed reasonable. Krazer even selflessly volunteered to lead a team. But on closer inspection, it was clear where the catch lay.

Fish Ball Guy
